Yea for sure, that makes sense. It was definitely shitty and out of line, I’m just sayin calling it “shocking and traumatic” seems like taking it a bit far to me haha

This whole controversy is so wild to me, like I can’t imagine a dude getting slapped for running his mouth like that being referred to as “a deeply shocking, traumatic event” lmao where I come from we call that “Friday night”

I’m dual-wielding this and the Meteoric Ore Blade and I'm not surprised to hear how popular it is cuz Transient Moonlight slaps :P its helped me out a lot in PvE. dont play PvP much so i cant rly say how itll do there

I’m so glad you like it! I’ve been following ur Kotaku Game Diary updates :P This is one of my favourite games ever tbh, I think there are some definite balancing issues incl. some really difficult bosses that almost force you into using specific builds if you don’t want to be trying for like two weeks to beat them,…

It’s not just you, the roided-out bears with the huge-ass front arms are the WORST lol... def my pick for elden ring enemy where I’d most rather do literally anything else than fight it. The giant deformed birds are a close second but at least you can hit them with ranged attacks and they're not so fast they can…

It kinda looks like Get Out for white women lol :P I’m stoked tho, I rly like Jessie Buckley and Alex Garland. I also totally did not realize all the guys were the same actor until you pointed it out LMAO

Ohh I was gonna say idk who gostoc is either but then i realized i also killed him LMAO but in my defense he was stealing my precious runes so he had it comin! whatever I'll just see their quests next playthrough i guess

I think I killed Kenneth Haight after he gave me his dagger bc he annoyed me LMAO... That’s good news abt the Nepheli one though. I’ve been trying to find her to give her a potion thing and I have no sweet clue where she is

Oh I forgot to mention in my other comment, Fia the Deathbed Companion is my fav character though. I have a thing for goths what can I say

I've heard a lot of ppl say the boss was annoying and I kinda agree but honestly the aesthetic was so rad I didn't mind xD Most epic fight I've ever seen in a game lol

omg this happened to me outside the Bestial Sanctum earlier, I was like huh thats weird but i didnt think much of it, just warped outta there lmao... hey btw hows ur playthrough going Ian?

Oops i somehow completely missed the strike or u asking us not to visit the website dammit :/ but I’m so happy u won!! one of my fav writers (Renata) just left not long ago and in her goodbye post it kinda sounded like poor working conditions were to blame so I was kinda wondering how much that was affecting everyone. …

Oooh I think I found the ravine city ur talking about but I completely missed that girl, I’m gonna have to go back and look for her cuz I’ve been wondering what she’s been up to LOL I have a bad feeling abt her questline xD

I find it really fun but you have to learn to take failure and sometimes even a loss of progress in stride... I can’t imagine getting this far if I got frustrated every time a boss one-shot me lmao... It does lean harder in the player’s favour than their other games, ESPECIALLY Sekiro... Whereas in Sekiro you…

I have no sweet clue where to find this guy in Stormveil Castle LMAO I took a totally different route than you I guess. I need to go back and look for him

I got the sense that he was mad at just like. Existing under late-stage capitalism LMAO

Honestly? Worth it just for the comfort

I saw the whip one in my game too and it made me laugh xD my other fave so far was “try fingers

Hey btw I hope you keep posting these updates, I’m really enjoying seeing what you’ve been up to and it kinda makes up for Kotaku not having a review up as early as everyone else :D

Hmm weird, I noticed on PS4 sometimes I have to try two or three times before it connects to the network but once it does I haven’t noticed any issues... I would've expected Playstation to have online issues more than xbox. Haven’t tried playing online multiplayer but I will say ppl rating my messages has saved my ass…
